I Hear You Cry

I let you fly so you could spread your wings, 

So you could be the person you yearned to be,

I gave you space and time to express yourself

In a way most natural and comfortable to you,

I walked the other way to find the missing me

And hoped you would also find what you were 

Truly searching for,

I let go of all the hurting, the negativity and deceit,

I let go of all the past for it serves no purpose 

Where I am heading,

I let go of all the grudges and judgements,

But I never let go of you,

You are destined for greatness

For a bright flame burns within you,

Yet dimmed and drowned by All that envy you

And wish to keep it for Themselves,

You should be happy and at peace by now

For you have all that you so longed for,

But I can still hear you cry;

Reading scripture with tears from your beautiful eyes

Marking the parts you meditate on every day,

Prayers are becoming like songs 

Constantly repeating in your mind; and

Manifesting through your mesmerizing lips,

Why do I hear you cry?
